I slept until the next day, again. This might be my usual night routine; crying myself to sleep every night. I roll over to see what time it is, 5 pm.

I decide to get out of bed and into the bathroom for a shower. I have decided that I want to make him some breakfast since Chris told me he doesn't eat breakfast at all.

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day and even though he choke me yesterday, I still want him to eat. After my quick shower I blow-dried my hair, had it up in a loose ponytail and quickly brushed my teeth.

I got dressed in a baby blue sweater and blue jeans before I headed downstairs. The clock was half past 6 so I probably have around 20 minutes or so to make him breakfast.

Maybe I should go with pancakes, those don't take long. I started to make the pancake batter and I hum to myself as I pour the melted butter into the mix before I stir it. I get a pan and put the oven on medium heat. I wait until the butter is brown before I start to make the first pancake.

After making a stack for him I place it on the table with some honey and jam, looking at the clock and seeing it is 5.40. Just then I hear footsteps coming down the stairs and I straighten up and place my hands behind my back as I see him entering the kitchen.

He seems to be shocked by my presence and stops in his tracks, not knowing for sure what he should do. He looked to be fresh out of the shower, his hair was pushed back neatly and he was wearing a navy blue suit and some brown shoes.

To break the silence I clear my throat before I say: "I made you some breakfast. If you want some coffee I can make some for you. But please, eat before you go to work." I say to him carefully before I turn around and walk back to the oven, making some pancakes for myself.

I am surprised when I hear him move the chair and I get a small smile on my face, knowing that he will eat before he leaves for work. After making some pancakes for myself I carry my plate over to the table, seeing that he is almost finished with the stack I made for him.

"Make some coffee so I can have it when I leave." He commands as I place down the plate. "Yes." I tell him as I turn around to walk over to the coffee machine, taking 4 scoops of coffee powder and some water before I turn the machine on. I head back to the table and sit down before I start to eat my own pancakes.

I also pour some orange juice into my glass and I take a sip of it before I continue to eat. There is awkward silence around us as we eat in peace, nothing more that I hate so much as this. I also hate making small talk with people I barely know, how does one start a conversation?

I carefully look up at him, seeing that he is typing away on his phone with his left thumb as he eats with his right hand. I feel myself getting red for staring so long so I look back down at my plate as I cut another piece of pancake, putting it in my mouth as I hear the coffee machine beeping.

I stand up from the chair and walk over to the coffee machine, biting my lip slightly. "Do you have a cup I can pour it into?" I ask and turn my upper body to look at him.

"In the cabinet over you." He says without looking up from his phone and I open it and find it. I take off the lid and pour in the coffee, placing the lid back on before I walk over to the table.

I place the cup in front of him before I sit back down. "When will you come home?" I ask and look at him as he stands up and picks up the cup. He just looks at me without saying anything before he walks out of the kitchen and I hear the door slamming seconds later and I sigh to myself.
